Hi All,

When I do Statistics>Descriptive Statistics>Statistics on Columns I get value defined as P95. I assume this is 95% interval range. I can not find in Help how P95 is defined. How percentiles are defined?

thanks
oliver

It's defined in the usual method. The 95th percentile is the value below which 95 percent of the values in the column may be found...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile

If you want to know how it's obtained look for Percentile() function in the index of the programming guide.
